AMD & Xilinx Introduce the Versal HBM Series VHK158 Evaluation Kit
Introducing the Versal HBM Series VHK158 Evaluation Kit. This features the Versal HBM series VH1582 device, which integrates multi-Tbps High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), hardened connectivity IP, and adaptive compute in a single device, eliminating the bottlenecks between memory, I/O, and compute while delivering up to 6 times more memory bandwidth.
The VHK158 evaluation kit is an evaluation platform for the Versal HBM series VH1582 device designed to keep up with the higher memory needs of compute intensive, memory bound applications, providing adaptable acceleration for data center, wired networking, test & measurement, and aerospace & defense applications. The VHK158 board's primary focus is to enable demonstration and evaluation of the VH1582 silicon and support customer application development
This video highlights the key onboard interfaces and components as well as accessories that the VHK158 evaluation kit provides:

And in case you missed it ~
:cool:
AFAIK, eval kits in general are for testing and developing integrated solutions before setting up mass-orders for the core ASIC, FPGA, etc.
The extreme memory bandwidth and mentioned AI/MI "Data and Signal Processing", means 'data fusion' to me.
In aerospace-defense Radar, that could be for fusing multiple sensor-streams into a sort of 'more than the sum of its parts' generative Sensing Suite.
